Poggio Al Sole is consistently one of the most prestigious, well-regarded wineries in Chianti and all of Tuscany. Their wines, which are now both certified organic and vegan offer incredibly sophisticated notes and are known for being wildly aromatic.
The 2019 Primavera is a Rosato that has far more going on than meets the eye. Yes, it offers a beautiful pink hue, but this is more of a food wine than most any Rose out there. It offers intense aromas coming from the beautiful Sangiovese grown on the estate. It’s savory but has good fruit, weight and balance to it. Perfect with salmon, chicken or any appetizer you can throw at it. It’s delicious right now but will also be great up until 2022.

90 Points, Vinous
The bouquet is more savory than sweet, leading off with notes of dried peaches with crushed stone minerals, then giving way to a twang of peppery botanicals. Silky, soft textures flood the senses with cool-toned orchard fruits and sweet, subtle spices, as the 2019 Poggio al Sole Primavera flows effortlessly across the senses. The finish leans more toward exotic florals and cleans up very nicely, as residual acids slowly taper off on this perfectly balanced Sangiovese Rosato. Very Nice.

There’s a consistency to Pierre Sparr wines that consumers just know they can count on throughout the entire portfolio. The wines deliver aromatics, elegance, clean fruit and are packed with vibrancy. They also happen to be extremely food-friendly, especially in the past few vintages where yields were down but quality rose to an all-time high. This is a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
One of my favorite places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. Although it is better known for the Moscato, Grignolino should be its calling card because in almost no places of the world does it thrive like it does here. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Grignolino is the product of 50+ year old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. Light in color to the core, bright and wonderfully aromatic, this is food-friendly red wine that can double just as well all on its own.

This is a Nicholas Faithful favorite. Even though it’s technically a non-vintage it was last disgorged in the 2020 vintage. La Cravantine, is a sparkling rosé of 100% Cabernet Franc, bone-dry, super fresh and with bubbles so tiny and fine, it puts most “real” Champagne to shame. Appealing strawberry and mineral scents are encased in a firm structure with a dry and spicy quality in the palate. This wine is incredibly versatile – perfect with just about any fish, fried food, or do like I do and enjoy it on it’s own.
94 Points (Best Buy), Wine & Spirits
“Deep in color and vinous in its red fruit, this is a spicy and compelling rosé. There’s pristine strawberry flavor at its core, surrounded by accents of red grapefruit, blood orange and fennel. The wine’s intensity rises like its bubbles from base note to high notes, leaving a pale red fruit ghosting in the finish.”
